UBC Sustainability Action Programme 2016–2021

UBC Sustainability Action Programme is coordinated by the UBC SSC and it is closely linked to the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR). The aim of the UBC Sustainability Action Programme is to guide our work in the field of sustainable development. The main focal areas of the UBC Sustainability Action Programme - Stairway towards Sustainable Baltic Cities for the next five years are: green urban economies, climate-smart cities, sustainable urban ecosystems and natural resources and the Baltic Sea and its catchment area. The UBC Sustainability Action Programme 2016–2021 was adopted in October 2015 during the UBC General Conference in Gdynia, Poland.

Please feel free to contact the Sustainable Cities Commission Secretariat for more information about the SCC as well as to find out more about collaboration and networking opportunities among the UBC member cities.
